Moral Minority

Exploring the religious beliefs of key Founding Fathers, the book reveals that figures like Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson were often skeptical intellectuals rather than conventional Christians. Ms. Allen argues that John Locke, rather than Jesus Christ, influenced the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Through engaging prose and excerpts from the founders, the work contributes to the contemporary debate on church and state, examining the role of religion in government and challenging traditional narratives about these historical figures.
